Montgomery County, AL

Background
The Montgomery County Probate Office, in partnership with Montgomery Public Schools in Alabama, launched a civic engagement initiative to increase youth voter participation. By placing interactive kiosks in high-traffic community locations, they aimed to make voter registration more accessible and more appealing to students and the general public alike.

Business Challenge
• Low youth voter turnout prompted the need for more proactive outreach
• The county sought a modern, attention-grabbing way to engage high school students
• Kiosks needed to be mobile, easy to deploy, and functional across a variety of locations
• Visual design was critical to draw interest in busy environments like school cafeterias

Solution Delivered
Advanced Kiosks delivered a fleet of Freestanding Kiosks, each custom-painted in bold candy apple red and outfitted with eye-catching decals and an intuitive, high-contrast interface.

Deployed across public schools, libraries, and community buildings, the kiosks are equipped for:

• Voter registration

• Wayfinding and public service info

• Applications and employment opportunities

Their vibrant design and visual branding were intentionally chosen to stand out and invite interaction. The kiosks are fully mobile, allowing schools to move them for events, drives, or to high-traffic areas based on need.

Outcomes
• Initial 9-kiosk pilot in 2021 led to positive community response
• Two additional orders brought the total to 27 kiosks deployed across Montgomery County
• Flexible placement has empowered schools and clubs to run registration drives at events
• Strong example of how kiosk customization can drive civic engagement and public awareness

As Montgomery County Probate Judge JC Love noted, the kiosks’ mobility allows schools to make the most of them:

“They can move it around- if they wanted to do a voter registration drive in the cafeteria or before a basketball game, they can hold it down there.”
